A great experience and our first visit to Dauphin Island. The home is in the ocean so it was very nice to sit on the deck and watch the waves roll in!! Very relaxing! The house is smaller than we expected but it was just the 2 of us and our puppy, so it was fine. And shout out to Dauphin Island Hospitality they were amazing !!

Amy was the BOMB!! Easy check in, awesome location,(fish off of deck)! Interior is a little worn, rails on deck need attention, one rail actually fell off but was able to retrieve when a toddler visited . But other than that I will specifically look for this one again just due to location. Repair man and staff were very friendly, and process was flawless.

Owner had canceled direct tv so we had to search harder to find things to watch we normally wouldn’t watch. Dish washer was very old & didn’t wash very well so we hand washed everything. Deck was in the process of being replaced the older section you had to be careful of nails coming up. Needs newer skillets everything we cooked stuck to them. Our stay was very windy and it rained a lot. Wished the place had an area on the deck that had a roof to sit but we knew this when we booked.

On the Water

It was an experience we've never had staying "ON" the water and it was fun! Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay. Parking and unloading was a task but was well worth the experience of being over the water. We will be back!

The only issue I had was trying to get the outside key box to open,.

We all loved our stay there. Being right at the water was amazing and there was always a great breeze from the ocean so that made it really nice. We saw dolphins every day and that was pretty neat and at night you could feel the house sway from the waves. I would highly recommend this place if you want to be right on the ocean.

4 day stay on beach

Overall I felt the home was comfortable with good amenities, though it’s a little dated with some wear. The location was great you can’t get any closer to the beach for sure. It was great for my husband and I and our teens. Hearing the waves throughout the night obs so peaceful! My only complaints are WiFi is slow, and we saw lots of roaches during our stay.

Location was amazing!

Our family of 5 had a great time at this property. The house was located right on the beach at the West end of the island which is not very busy. We fished right from the shore and spent all day every day on the lovely beach. The place had everything you need, but be sure to bring dish & laundry soap, your own toiletries, paper products, beach towels and chairs (you can always buy these items on the Island at the Ship & Shore, but it’s pricey). Would definitely rent this house again.

I felt like the house might fall in at any point in time. The deck was unstable, and I felt unsafe. Wiring under the house - didn't want my children near any of it - bathrooms filthy with mold. Not a huge deal, but it was not worth the price we paid. will not rent again nor recommend it to anyone.

We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered. Since your stay, the deck has been updated, the wiring under the home has been properly secured, and the bathrooms have been addressed to resolve the mildew concerns. This is not the level of experience we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing these items to our attention so they could be corrected. We truly regret that your stay did not meet expectations, but we would welcome the opportunity to provide you with the quality experience we strive to deliver.

Nice Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Delphinus very much. The house is perfectly located near the west end of island. Very quiet area. Nice beach, nice wrap-around patio, well-appointed home. I should note: we visited the area in low season - as well as after the area being impacted by two late season hurricanes - so there were not a lot of restaurants open. The WiFi at the house was also very spotty, at best, so if planning to work or be "connected" while onsite, a visitor might want to plan for alternative internet source.

Wildness of Waves

This place is just unbelievable. The roar of the waves and the movement felt of the sea made for a most special time even though all the world seemed to be in a real fix with the flights being cancelled and people being tossed about like the waves. Really something! What a fantastic place that beautiful house is. There were 7 of us and plenty of room. Thank you. :)

Our stay

Water was clear. It was amazing to see all the sea life from the porch above the water. Overall it was an amazing trip. It was super relaxing which we needed after the work year we've had. Only negative thing we encountered. Was on the last night the water had come up significantly under the house and this made logs/ lumber come up with it. They kept crashing into the stilts of the house. Shaking/thunderous noises happened. It made it hard to sleep. Other than that it was a perfect stay!

Rolling Waves and Crashing Surf

Beautiful setting with the surf rolling under the house on stilts. Loved the sunny days and cloudy days. The house has a lot of deferred maintenance. Plus I did see a few cockroaches. Ick. The cleaners need to tend to the fan blades, the light fixtures and wipe down the counters behind the kitchen sink and where it is difficult to reach. The kitchen drawers were not clean. I found some pet hair on the equipment. But the setting was stupendous. For the money I would have expected the condition to be clean. MdeP

Marie, I'm so sorry the property was not up to the standard it should have been. I hope you called the office so we can get someone back out immediately. We want our guests to have the best vacation in our properties. I will ask housekeeping if we can schedule a deep clean. We are trying to get all of them completed before the summer vacations start. All of our properties have quarterly pest control. I hope you called the office to get the pest control back out. I'm sorry the property was not up to standard and hope you give us another try~DIBR
